With Drive, that is definitely a viable option. A lot of the earlier arcs are just episodic mysteries with Mashin Chaser showing up about halfway through each episode to stretch out the plot with more fight scenes. Saber it's a little harder because the show really does frontload a lot of stuff that will be important later. It's definitely something that you can fast forward through a lot of scenes, though.

Zero-One has a pretty long stretch of episodes that's generally referred to as the "Job Competition arc." It is incredibly drawn out and repetitive and I think you could easily skip most, if not all of it by just reading summaries of what happened.
